This teacher should have told administration and cleared it beforehand...common sense should prevail.
I have to fall on the side of the school here. Neither of my sons have any right to bring a threatening object onto school property. I've done far more than my share of mischief. I know who/what/where/when/why it happens. I'm not trying to start an argument here but do you approve of students bringing fake knives into class to stab each other with?
HA! The kids on stage crew were carrying around one of those old cowboy pistols, the kind with the silver barrel and bone white handle, last year. Boy, did that bring back memories. I guess our little town's school is pretty laid back. I just hope the Dept of (un)Education doesn't find out about it.

Locking up toy guns is common sense. I think the school should lock up baseball bats, pencils, pointers, chairs, and cordon off the water fountain so kids don't drown.

Yes, and they must be unloaded -- with the ammunition stored in a separate, locked place.
Oh, and don't forget the trigger locks!
